Live from the Heart of America—I'm Steve Gruber—ready to deliver an inclusive and diverse discussion on the most important topics of the day—giving you better analysis and insight that anyone else—shining a spotlight on the cockroaches of the swamp—and delivering truth and justice just when hope was starting to fade—   Here are the 3 Big Things you need to know to start today—   Number One— Anthony Fauci is back taking swings at his critics—and he gives the most bizarre defense of the naturally occurring virus theory you will ever hear—   Number Two— The first collapse of a major American bank in a very long time—has people asking questions about how the Silicon Valley Bank operated—and if it was woke before it went broke—   Number Three— We are continuing to send billions of dollars to help fight a war in Ukraine against Vladimir Putin and Russia—   It is truly disturbing that the Biden regime along with the CIA and the intelligence community has dragged us into yet another proxy war—the Democrats are cheerleading the whole thing along with far too many Republicans—   And what I find the most infuriating is the fact that we have a war of our own to fight here at home—and we are losing badly—   That of course is the war being delivered to us courtesy of China by way of Mexico—   Fentanyl is the missile being directed at young people in this country—right now as I speak there are people dying from the poisonous drug—I mean literally at this moment there are Americans drawing their final breath—   And what are we doing about it? Not much it appears.    We are allowing fentanyl to kill us every single day—its components are manufactured in China, then shipped to Mexico where they are combined into the deadly drug—   Let me bring it into full relief for you right now—we are told 100,000 of us will die from Fentanyl this year—I actually think the number is much higher—but lets take that number at face value—   If 100,000 Americans die from Fentanyl annually here in The United States—that means about 275 of our fellow citizens are killed by this poison every single day—that is someone dying about every 5 minutes—so that means since I began talking this morning—someone has already died—and before I sign off about 3 dozen Americans will have been killed by the poison pouring into our nation!   Again, what are we doing about it?   Democrats spend a lot of time talking about the little guy and helping under-served communities—BUT they apparently don't care to notice that those same communities of color pay a much higher price when it comes to drug over-doses and death—when it comes to protecting the under-served—they don't seem care much anymore about equity—     Sadly, the inclusion that comes to the poor side of the tracks is addiction and death—   It is high time we start fighting back against the war that has been declared on us by the Chinese for profit and the Mexican Drug cartels—also for profit—   There are finally some inside the Administration taking the open border and the scourge of illegal drugs seriously—

What would George Washington think about the present entangling alliances and the American prosecution of the war against Russia- It's a reasonable question, but not many would want to answer the question. Above all, this is a time to fear God, and yet there's precious little of that left in this administration right now. The president is concerned about a possible Armageddon, but then why is the nation inviting it by its gross disobedience to the Almighty- --This program includes- --1.

Live from the No Panic Zone—I'm Steve Gruber—I am America's Voice—God Bless America—God Bless You and let's do this! This is the Steve Gruber show— I am just an overgrown Zygote in search of humanity and leadership in a nation—that seems desperately in need of both—   Here are three big things you need to know right now—   ONE— Ivana Trump—the first wife of President Donald Trump died on Thursday—unexpectedly at the age of 73—she is also the mother of Trumps 3 adult Children—Don Jr. Ivanka and Eric— TWO— AOC—has opened the door for the defense of President Trump in the sham J-6 show hearings—which is nothing more than a desperate attempt to keep Trump from ever seeking the Presidency again— THREE— Every passing day brings us closer to the inevitable Red Wave that is coming— because America has had enough of the pathetic reign of worthless Joe Biden— I mean let's be honest about this—the culture wars are not going to change the fact that the inflation rate is several times higher than most voters have ever seen before— Democrats can harp on abortion, transgender rights, global warming, and every other agenda item embraced by Bernie Sanders and the socialists—and its not going to save them from paying the political price for all the damage they have done— The stifling cost of energy and food is choking the average American family—and for those that are a little bit lower on the income ladder—this could drive them straight into poverty and homelessness—this is worse than Jimmy Carter's America— this is far worse than what I witnessed in the 1970's and 80's and I know—I saw both— Because Joe Biden's poverty wave comes with a lot of extra things Jimmy Carter didn't have at the time—like an open border and hordes of illegals raiding the country— in fact the biggest surge of illegal aliens in American history is happening right now—some of which are apparently raping 10 year old's in the heartland— That is something Jimmy Carter—as far left as he was—would never have tolerated— Joe Biden's relentless pursuit of socialist poverty and equity comes with an explosion in violent crime that is tearing apart the fabric of communities—and devastating millions of law abiding citizens— with several Democrat run cities with weak on crime prosecutors turning their backs on crime victims while defending the rights of violent criminals— the result is murder, rape and assault hitting all-time records— the blood is literally flowing in the streets of once proud cities— Jimmy Carter was hit by the Iran hostage crisis— but he tried to fight back—he didn't just say awe shucks, roll over and go back to sleep at the wheel— his efforts didn't pay off— because he was viewed as weak by the mullahs and the world—but he was more of a leader than we have now— And make no mistake what Joe Biden did in Afghanistan last August was worse by far—and Americans will soon be reminded of the 13 dead Americans in the streets of Kabul—as that dark anniversary is only a few weeks away— Americans will be reminded of people clinging to the landing gear of C-130 transport planes before falling thousands of feet to their deaths just trying to avoid the coming horrors of Taliban rule— And Jimmy Carter didn't just walk blindly and straight into the buzz saw of terrorists—like Joe Biden is with the likes of Iran and of course the Chinese Communist Party—that embraces Biden as the biggest useful idiot of all time— while Biden lavishes praise on the CCP—as a competitor— Thinking Americans can do the math—and they know China is our biggest enemy— Jimmy Carter didn't directly attempt to trigger a third world war the way feeble joe and the neo-libs are right now with Russia— It is amazing—but I would actually take Jimmy Carter over Joe Biden 100 times to none—and that is one scary damn thing to say—just let that sink in for a bit— Plus—Jimmy Carter—though a weak and nearly useless commander in Chief at least knew where he was most of the time—the charade that Joe Biden even knows whats going on—is really wearing thin

Victory Day is always a big holiday in Russia: It marks the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany in World War II, a conflict during which more than 8 million Soviet soldiers died. But this year, as Russia's war on Ukraine continues, the day will take on new meaning. Since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, there's been speculation about whether Victory Day will mark a turning point in the war that has already killed thousands and forced millions to flee from their homes.

This week: It's all about the hackers, baby. SCOTUS makes a huge ruling on America's biggest hacking law, and Ransomware continues to rise. Plus: Facebook changes its tune on speech from politicians.

Join my private FB group Remember how the corporate press spent years breathlessly freaking out about Trump and Russia? It was the only story for month after month after month. All we heard was "quid pro quo." Then Robert Mueller released his report and it all sputtered out into nothing. Now Joe Biden is embroiled in his own quid pro quo scandal. And the corporate press don't want to touch it. They've abandoned any pretense of objectivity, because people care more about partisanship than factual news. Tune in today and we'll give you the details. Also, as a reminder, we're taking a long weekend for Memorial Day. So our next show will be next Wednesday. Enjoy the break and make the most of every day. We sure will be. ;)

But here in Japan, a teacher is supposed to have higher social rank and, well, more money. Thus, it's logical for him or her to pay.

Hmm… Russia seems to be a better place for teachers, then! W: Ha-ha, are you planning on moving there in the near future? M: Not really, no. But collecting some information in advance never hurts. W: On the other hand, the average salary of a teacher in Russia is extremely low. Even at the universities, it's not that good. So people often end up doing more than one job. M: Well, maybe Japan is a better place for teachers after all... But I'm wondering if we can deal with this bill in a Russian's way! W: Ha ha. I prefer to respect the traditions of Japan.

W: They're sullen and grim-faced, and they bark at customers. And they demand small change when you try to pay, because they don't have any. Such actions by the shop workers are considered to be normal. M: Wow, really? Kinda hard to believe. I'd never go to such shop again! W: What if ALL the shops were like that?

That and smiles, and bows. Shop assistants bow to you, for god's sake! M: Public etiquette is really important in Japanese culture. It always has been. What about Russia? W: Well, in Imperial Russia public behaviour was almost as formalized. But when the communists arrived, those forms of politeness were abolished. I guess the economic depression of recent times didn't help. M: So, shop assistants aside, are people there gloomy in general? W: You could say so. If you smile, walking down the street, you're considered to be an idiot! M: Ha ha! Nice! W: The worst in Russia is the public transport, though. Seats are arranged in the manner that you HAVE TO stare at other people's faces, and this sight is not for the faint of heart. I guess I'll have massive culture shock when I go back!
